4. Kobe Bryant – $600 Million
Kobe Bryant is a legend in his own rights and has made a name for himself in the NBA. However, he was taken from this world much sooner than we would hope, and it is the reason why we are now hearing so much about his career and major achievements. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Bryant left his family a whopping $600 million, which made him one of the richest players ever to grace the NBA court.

These endorsement deals were in addition to major investments he was involved with, including his company Byant Stibel, a venture capital firm.

To make the story even more interesting, Bridgeman used to own 100 restaurants under the Wendy’s and Chili’s chain. After he sat in on a few NBA meetings, he decided it was good to try for another business venture. Bridgeman noted those involved in that business got their life’s fulfillment and is great enough to last longer than what basketball is known for.
